As a vibrant, growing, curious congregation, we provide opportunities for our children, our youth, our families, and our community to cultivate faith and expand our relationship with God. As we deepen our spiritual qualities, we move from intention to action, both inside and outside the church walls. Our focus is to expand our spiritual educational ministry, both traditional and progressive.
